Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to lighting controllers and in particular to light dimming systems.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,649,323 on which the preambles of claims 1 to 10 are based, discloses a microcomputer-controlled light control which provides a fade function.
  • the control disclosed in that patent is operated by a pair of switches which provide inputs to a microcomputer.
  • the microcomputer is programmed to determine whether the switches are tapped or held (i.e., whether they are operated for a transitory duration or for a longer period of time). When a switch is held, the light intensity is either decreased or increased, depending on the switch operated, and release of the switch causes the intensity setting to be entered into a memory.
  • the hard wired device can also operate in response to the actuation of manually actuated switches incorporated within it. Two way communication between the hard wired device and the battery powered control device is not provided. A system of this type is sold by Leviton as the Anywhere switch.
  • Actuation of actuator 22 for more than a transitory period of time causes the light level of the connected load 30A or 30B to increase if actuated above the midline of the actuator 22 and decrease if actuated below the midline of the actuator 22.
  • Behind actuator 22 are two non latching switches (not shown) which work independently to send input signals to a microprocessor (not shown) for processing.
  • Neither the master 12A nor the dimmers 20A and 20B can receive signals from an infrared transmitter.
  • FIG. 11A further shows an optional flexible cable 960 extending out of master control 900 through backcover 972.
  • Cable 960 is an electrical cable containing two individual conductors (not shown).
  • At the end of cable 960 is an infrared diode 964 encased in an optically clear enclosure 966. The infrared energy exits through the enclosure 966 which is spaced from the master control 900.
  • the other end of the cable exits the backcover 972 through hole 974.
  • Fig. 11A also shows the hot conductors 618 and the neutral conductor 620.
  • the dimmer next determines if the SCENE command has been held for greater than a 2 second, although any non transitory length of time will suffice.
  • the dimmer 200 saves the preset light level to the dimmer scene memory for that SCENE actuator. If the dimmer 200 determines that the actuator has been held for less than 2 seconds the dimmer 200 returns to the beginning.
  • the dimmer 200 determines if the BASIC ON command was actuated last.
  • a BASIC ON command can be sent from actuation of actuator 602 from transmitter 600. The first time through the path the answer is no, so the dimmer 200 determines if the BASIC ON command was actuated within the last 1 ⁇ 2 second. The first time through this will also be no, so the dimmer 200 fades to preset. If the next time through the this path the dimmer 200 determines that the BASIC ON command was received the last time through the program loop, the dimmer 200 continues to fade to preset. If the dimmer 200 determines that the BASIC ON command has been actuated within the last 1/2 second, the dimmer 200 fades to full with fast fade.
  • the master control 400 or 500 When the master 400 or 500 receives a signal via infrared, block 1202 the master control 400 or 500 transmits a command through the RS485 circuit to other master control located in other wallboxes, but preferably does not broadcast a command through the IR output LEDs 906 and 964.
  • An infrared signal can be received when actuators 602, 604, 614A, 614B, 718A, 718B, 718C, 718D, 714 or 724 are actuated from the infrared transmitter 600 or 700.
  • the master control 400 or 500 does not send commands to the dimmers 200A and 200B that are received from transmitters 600 and 700.
  • the dimmer 200A and 200B will receive and respond to these signals directly.
  • the present invention has been described as having a master control and one or more separate dimmers.
  • the master control and a plurality of dimmers can be combined in a common enclosure like the system shown in Fig. 4.
